Forgive me if this message posts twice. Some of my posts seem to be
getting eaten by Yahoo. Ah well... here goes... again.

On a daily basis, my body twitches to the "hearing" of most any
music/noise. Most recently:

bagpipes played in my stairwell;
snatches of Erik Satie, Loreena McKennitt, Sting, Tracy Chapman, and
(in particular) tango music on the office CD player;
music played by the street musicians, improvisational jammers, and
drummers on my city sidewalks;
car alarms;
jackhammers;
street machinery;
the music that plays in my "head"...

The urge to dance is a fairly ordinary outcome of hearing music/noise
(repetitive or patterned or otherwise). I have had extraordinary
experiences as regard identity in connection with music:

dancing in a large (50+ people) drumming circle centered on a bonfire
(after 5 or so hours of drumming and moving in that heat, everything
starts to "melt");
"participating" in a Crash Worship performance (Houston, 1993? Wonder
what happened to those guys)... soot-smeared, soaked with water and
wine, crushed by a mob of undulating people, ears rattled with
fireworks, yodelling and the sound of -bodyblasting- percussion, eyes
blinded by ash and the high-contrast of flames thrown in the dark...
completely disoriented by a crowd of wet painted people dressed in
horrific costume... sensation overload. Lost a contact lens, my
companions and my identity.

ciao!
Nina
